Verdict

STREAK LIGHTNING didn't enjoy the rub of the green here last time so Ruth Carr's 7-y-o is worth siding with to capitalise on a lenient mark. Fellow C&D scorer Starshiba is also weighted to have a big say, while recent victors One More Dream and Mumayaz command plenty of respect too under their penalties.

  1. STREAK LIGHTNING (IRE)
